its not a shoestring
the wage bill this year was 10M p.a.
that is more then enough to finish second
the problem for me is, there is no one on the Board qualified to oversee the manager to say "no you're not signing a guy in his 30's in semi retirement and pay them 10K a week"
Senderos joke signing
Barton joke signing
Hill 38
Kranjkar 30 odd and retired
Rossiter
crooks
windass all 3 injured
Garner 1.5 million wasted on this guy alone
The problem now of course is have the board made yet another blunder in appointing this latest manager?
The evidence is yes, they should have gotten the Director of Football in first
